Somebody should teach the Eaglets how to shoot in front of goals and SCORE. Great we won but we missed at least 15 chances. They also hold on to the ball for so long and may end up losing the ball. Another thing is that they over-dramatize when they miss an opportunity to score.
Against Argentina and others, the Eaglets need to be decisive in front of the goal post and really score.

I am concerned about the names of the universities. They sound somehow!

My heart bleeds for Nigeria.

Our leaders are indeed wicked. To me, that's the only explanation.

Thirty years ago, China was a pariah state. No body wants to be associated with them. Their economy was in shambles. Today the story is different. You cannot ignore China. Visit China and see for your self what has happened after the cultural revolution. It has been said that within the next 10 to 20 years China will be at the forefront economically, politically and even in terms of military might. The transformation is breath-taking. Our leaders visit China and they are not inspired to replicate the same in Nigeria.

In the early 70's Malaysia came to Nigeria to buy oil palm seeds for the development of their palm industry. Today that industry has transformed Malaysia and made them a beauty to behold. Today our agriculture (palm industry) has disappeared. Who hears about plantations and our famed groundnut pyramids any longer. Our leaders visit Malaysia and yet they are not motivated to do something about Nigeria.

Our leaders visit America, UK, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, India and other developed economies. They don't seem to bother about taking a cue from there or from anywhere to change the fortunes of the citizens. Instead they are more concerned with establishing themselves in those countries.

Our leaders would rather send their children to the best schools abroad rather than fix the education sector in Nigeria.

Our leaders would rather visit the best hospitals in the world rather than set up similar hospital in Nigeria.

Our leaders would rather import water, drinks, food, clothings, cars, etc from anywhere in the world rather than provide infrastructure and condusive environment for commerce and industry to thrive in Nigeria. I remember a governor whose response to the bad roads in his state was to buy jeeps for his convoy instead of repairing the roads.

A recent survey by Businessday indicated that about 73% of  Nigerians sees Light/power supply   as their number 1 need. Yet the situation has been deteriorating. My heart bleeds when I remember that this same country supplies light to Benin Republic (and they enjoy uninterrupted power supply). Ghana recently celebrated several years of uninterrupted power supply. Yet our leaders will prefer to have us as a dumping ground for fake generators. I once visted a high density neighbourhood where I saw about 20 small generators facing each other in a small compoud (read face-me-i-face-you type).

Should I write about governance? Check out the largest party in Africa. The one which boasts that it will rule Nigeria for 60 years. Check out what is happening
in one of the eastern states. They will rule for 60 years indeed if they don't implode.

Time and space will not permit me to continue. My summation is that those in leadership should know that this country belongs to us all (as Buhari once told us) and that we shall salvage it together. We have no other place. Let the leaders salvage this country.

I don't know the authur of this story but someone sent it to me seeking advice. Please assist.



One Friday morning, John woke up hurriedly and prepared for work. He worked in a busy institution and was expected early at work. His wife worked a distance from where her husband’s office was.


As a result of doing things in a hurry, John unknowingly, carried his wife's mobile phone leaving behind his own. After he had gone his wife Jane noticed the mix-up but it was too late for her to do anything about it. She thought for a while and decided to carry her husband's phone in case he came back for it.


On arriving at his place of work John noticed that he had confused his wife's phone for his but decided not to go back for it. He sighed deeply because he knew his wife could access romantic messages sent by his many mistresses.


His wife too was disgusted because she had several toy boys.


Drama began to unfold when John received an SMS intended for his wife sent by somebody saved as ‘Peter-Taxi’, which read, "Hi sweetie, ope yo monin’ is fine, 4 me am okay just mad! My love 4 you kills me. I couldn't stop dreaming about you even after we met last evening coz you hold the password to ma heart." John was shocked to see this and thought he understood why his wife had come home late the previous evening. He decided to stay mum to see what more would come.


After one hour he received another SMS from somebody saved as ‘Susan-Salon’ which read, “Monin darling, ope ur fine, am also fine but not so fine without seeing you next to me coz you control every part of ma heart. Nice day sweetie, see you at lunch.”


The third SMS ticked in from somebody saved as ‘Winnie-Handbags’ which read, "Monin ma beautiful queen, I wish you were a gum, I would chew you every time, you make me feel young like I was born yesterday, you without whom I would go on a hunger strike. Have a bright day ma dear."


John was deeply shocked by these messages but knew that on the other side his wife might be seeing drama too.


Meanwhile, Jane had seen even more than her husband. She had received three messages from three women that clearly showed they were his mistresses. The first SMS was from a woman saved as ‘Ochieng-Car wash’ which read, “Hi deah how's ur monin? 4 me am okay with ur son here, he says he loves you so much n you should come n stay with us. gday."


Jane almost fainted on seeing this because she could not believe that her husband had a son outside marriage.


Before her anger was over, she received a second SMS from' ‘Omosh-Kinyozi’ which read, “Monin ma deah, ope ur enjoyin ur day. Mine can't be complete without you. Every time I sleep in this house you bought 4 me I dream 2 love u always. The BM u bought me is perfect on road. Thanks, g’day.”


The last message came from ‘Karanja-Electician’ and read, “Sasa honey? Ope uko poa, mimi niko fiti hapa campo, lakini nikumiss sana . But honey kuna doh tunadaiwa za project 40k, nita come unishow vile tutalipa. Nice day love you big.”


Jane had found the answer to why her husband was always penniless!


When evening came John and Jane met at home. They could hardly talk but only stared at one another with suspicion.


Then they called you to intervene, sincerely how could I solve that?

The choice is yours. I don't want to say that you want to eat your cake and have it.
It is better you opt out now instead of frustrating/messing up the guy in the future and destroying a marriage.

of course, money grows on trees!

I am not interested in who repairs the road. Let them just fix the roads nationwide. It is our right.

This raises some moral questions. For instance which one will you prefer? Virginity - life before the act.
Faithfulness - life after the act.

Nigerians love adventure. They will like to live anywhere even in Siberia or Iceland.

Let us pray!


Most people have one bad thing or the other to say about Nigeria.

Others have been alluding that Nigeria is either a failed state or at best a failing one ( even Tell Magazine had an edition on the subject).

Prof Anya O Anya ( former Chairman of Nigeria Economic Summit Group) recently called on Nigerians to stop parading Nigeria in bad light by making negative pronouncements against the country. He explained that like a self fulfilling prophecy, those negative comments have materialised in the country - leading to the bad state of things.

The need of the moment is that we Nigerians are not doing anything to solve the problem. We need to rise up and reverse this trend.

First of all, we need to be the change we want to see in others.We should stop condemning and passing judgements on others and start practising those things we expect them to do. Let the positive actions start from us. From us, it will spread like wild fire and before long, Nigeria will be good for it.

Secondly, we should start praying on a daily basis for the good of Nigeria. If Nigeria has peace and progress, we shall also live in peace and make progress. It starts from you.

Shouldn't we act and pray? Let us not just fold our arms (siddon look) and say that we have many churches and mosques. The question is,  are those churches and mosques[b] really praying [/b] for the good of Nigeria ?


My concern is, how do we  arrange and cordinate this move?

Suggestions are needed.

My heart bleeds for users of Benin -Ore Expressway.
I consider that the road which is a major link between the East and the Western part of Nigeria has failed. To say that the road is in a state of disrepair is a major understatement.

Road users travelling from Lagos to Onitsha now spend about  two (2) days on a journey that normally takes about 5 hours.

This is harzardous. Several portions of the road have become impassable, deathtraps, accident-prone and even dens for armed robbers.

Apart from the uncordinated patching of the road once in a while, no major repairs have been done on that road in about twenty years. Yet we kept hearing that the contract for the road has been awarded several times.  Recall that a serving Federal Minister visited and inspected this same road and wept after seeing the failed portions of the road. About 3 years after the incident nothing tangible has been done on the road. In fact if that Minister were to inspect that road today, she will slump.
 
As Christmas approaches, I suggest that Government takes immediate measures to save lives by doing the following:

1. Commence immediate repair of the road
2. Dispatch traffic management team including Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to control and  direct traffic on that road.
3. Develop a strategy to ensure sustainable maintenance of the road
4. Rebuild the road to an 8 - lane super highway
5. Build an alternative link between the East and the West.

This is an important road. The Government should rise up and take action on this road.

I recently came across Swiss Management Center (SMC Univeristy) said to be located in Zug Zurich Switzerland. I understand they offer Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees.

Who knows this University? Is it recognised and acredited? Are its degrees useful?

Don't be discouraged. this is just a start. Please post more interesting /positive things about 9ja no matter how meagre. Most people are used to only negative things about 9ja. They have given up on the country, which shouldn't be.

Brains, Them say itz for women who think they are smart.



In a hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their
Family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired
and somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed
the worried faces,

"The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain Transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the Brain
Yourselves."

The family members sat silently as they absorbed the news. After a great
Length of time, someone asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?" The
doctor quickly responded, "$ 50,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a
Female brain."

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding
eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to
control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is
the male brain so much more?"

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire
group, "It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the
price of the female brains, because they've actually been used, the male
brains are hardly ever used by the owners. So they are as good as new"

THE WEDDING TEST

I was a very happy person. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been
dating or over a year, and so we decided to get married.

There was only one little thing bothering me, It
was her beautiful younger sister.

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore
very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would
regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than
a nice view.

It had to be deliberate because she never did it
when she was near anyone else.

One day her "little" sister called and asked me to
come over to
check
the wedding invitations.

She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to
me that she had
feelings and desires for me that she couldn't
overcome. She told me
that
she wanted me just once before I got married and
committed my life
to
her sister.

Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a
word.

She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and
if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."
I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her
go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed
straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me
and said, "We are

very happy that you have passed our little test. We
couldn't ask for
better man for our daughter. Welcome to the
family!"






And the moral of this story is:

, Guess what, I was heading for my car where I kept my condoms.

I saw this somewhere and decided to share it on the forum. Reflection on the good old days,
Sorry, the author is unknown!
,


Have you, by any chance, noticed how transient everything appears to be in these perilous days of substandard living? Where are the good times when a bar of soap could last a family of three for a week; and ah, the days of Breeze, the gigantic family soap that could last a whole school term? Ha! These days, in best of conditions, a bar lathers away in just 2 days.

Air freshener gels sit in their containers, rather gawkily, emitting nothing but a faint smell of an apparently pleasant odour that dies away after a few hours, even though the gel is still starring blankly back at you; it used to be that their fragrance were sweet-scented and could go on forever.

Toilet rolls are ultra light, with thin layers that dissolve right in your hand at the slightest touch of moisture. Plastic buckets break too easily; when most of us can still remember plastic buckets that have survived thirty to forty-year use at our fathers' houses.

Combs loose their teeth just by journeying through an infant's thick lustrous hair. Exercise books are leaner, with inferior sheets that perforate at the gentle caress of an eraser.

Drugs are tedious to uncork and require rigorous fighting to open due to inferior packaging; and once uncorked impossible to close tightly again, their caps dance around the top like a nervous child.

And there's more: only a few weeks ago, as I was driving down Ikeja, a tiny speck of stone bounced off the tires of the vehicle ahead of me and hit my windscreen.

I heard the kpum sound and just thought, ‘ah well, nothing can happen, right? It's a brand new Honda City after all.' That was until I alighted a few minutes later and saw to my horror the scratch just at the middle of the screen; I shrugged it off, it was way too small to worry about.

How wrong I was, the next morning the scratch had grown into a crack with evil webs stretching to both ends of the shield, and in a week the screen just shattered on a hot afternoon where I packed it outdoors, I gasped! My people I was told it was shatter-proof, but I guess it wasn't, only in Nigeria! How can we drive brand news cars in this age that don't come with standard shatter-proof screens? Would it have been a Temitope Saloon (which I am still looking forward to by the way) or a Chiamaka Jeep, I wouldn't be too bothered; my anger would be disguised in patriotism too strong to let minor things weigh it down; but this is Honda, brand name with vast experience in technology, abi? So they create an inferior technology for their Nigerian market; don't they sell here at the same rate, if not higher than they sell in other markets? Why do these companies bring lower versions to us? Sad!

Do you remember the aggressive marketing LG had when they came to town? I bought into the frenzy and made the blunder of my life.

I got my hubby to buy all our electronics from an authorized LG distributor - from TV, to disc player, DVD player, name it. In a short time, all of these electronics have had to spend a night or two at the repairers' shop.

The TV, one night, just refused to blink, so I practiced good ol' tapping to resurrect it to life, and how embarrassing those tapping can be when you have a friend visiting. Heavens, the set was only two years old! The DVD and disc player lasted for all of one year, and just gave up on me.

So the repairer tells me, ‘shop for Sharp.' At the shops you see things like, ‘Shrap', ‘Shape', ‘Sharap', and then ‘Sharp' but with a logo I'm not familiar with. You see Sony, Soni, Sonni, Sonny, and the names keep coming. In the good days, our parents got rid of appliances because it was outdated as most lasted well above 20 to 30 years.

In the midst of all the plastic bowls, buckets, coolers, clocks, and flasks designed in various ridiculous colours (some looking like adire), one of the best gifts I received on my wedding day was, well, a gas cooker.

So the next day, like a new bride trying to impress, I made my way to the kitchen to heat left-over meal from the day before; I heard the scariest sound from within the cooker.

Crok crom crook, alas, the fire was cracking the white coat off the brand new cooker. I had never, not in the years I'd lived with my mother, seen anything so alarming.

Last week the cooker decided it was going to rest, since I failed to listen to all its rebellion over the years. It was one cooker that was unwilling to serve. It lasted just five years. I grew up knowing only one cooker in my mother's house, all my years with her; and she had a PhD in cooking affairs.

Nothing is apparently made to last these days in Nigeria; like a kiss from a lover boy, everything is fleeting, inferior without regard for the consumer.


We have children's text books with the most unattractive pictures, pale colours; schools are approving the poorest quality of books with wrong spelling; yes you heard me right: ‘gilr' ‘appel' ‘taecher'. I once saw a nursery book with the sentence: ‘clean the yamayama from your hands before you eat.' I swear!


We can't find durable sharpeners, erasers, crayons, and school bags at local shops; things we used to take for granted. One out of two products are substandard; there are antiseptic liquid that are just coloured water; Izal used to have an aroma that could wake the dead, now its just one bland weak odour that you can easily mix with your tea and wont even know its not milk.

Did I forget door knobs? It yanks off the joint after a few months; and phone chargers last only a few weeks. Toothpaste with no minty flavour. S.O.N where art thou? Consumer rights protection arise from your slumber; somebody come to the aid of Nigerians lest I relocate to Ghana. I'm dead serious!

Please start writing. Write a book or books. Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie is in trouble. She has found a worthy competitor. Who says Naija is not a great country with talented people like you.

this celebrity idea must have gotten into your head!!!!

The Guardian Newspaper of Nigeria today reported as follows :

" The EFCC has also directed bank chiefs to surrender their shares in the their financial institutions to fast-track their release.

The EFCC had earlier asked the detainees to make statements of their respective assests, preparatory to their confiscation, to make up for their alleged indebtedness to the banks."

Can this be true?

So much has been said about the sack of the  MD/CEOs and top management of 5 banks in Nigeria.

So much has also been said about the reasons for the sack (recklessness, mismanagement, dimunition of capital).

Some have mentioned that Sanusi may be pursuing a hidden agenda. What do you think?

i didn't watch the programme one bit. Let somebody post Bolanle's picture here.

I don't know whether a Nigeria Woman is better or not.
What I know is that I am looking for a white babe.

Hmmmmm

Today is my birthday anniversary.
Wish me something.
Expecting all the great gifts,

Tuface! The ball is in your court.

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this!
If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.
If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.
'I've gone for 30 years now,' he wrote, 'and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons.
But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all.'

This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column. ; Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

'I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.
But I do know this,
They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!'

When you are DOWN to nothing , God is UP to something!

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!

Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment!

So many reasons may account for why married women discard their wedding rings early.

I will rather go for the reason that they seek attention. Most of the time, they think that wearing the  wedding rings reduces the number of men who will toast or flirt with them.

At times this tendency is suggestive of unfaithfulness.
